My How You’ve Changed by Kris P. Kreme
Melinda is surprised to bump into Eric in the grocery store one day. They haven’t seen each other in the ten years since high school and things sure have changed. Where Eric used to be the picked on kid, awkward and unsure, today he is handsome and confident, sure of many things, most of all that Melinda has changed quite a bit. After some confusion and conversation, Melinda proves she is still every bit as slutty as she was back in high school, that and much more.
Melinda was never expecting to bump into an old friend from high school while grocery shopping. Of course Eric Friedman wasn’t entirely a friend. He wasn’t an enemy by any means but Eric was not in her crowd during those years. He was the kid everyone picked on, the acne scarred and bullied teenager who despite the awkwardness of growing up had to have more daily torture piled on top.
The ten years since she last saw Eric have been very kind to him, hardly recognizable as the same gangly boy she tried to be kind to. But then Eric surprises her by just how well he remembers those days back in high school, particularly when he mentions that Melinda inadvertently started a rumor that would make his life only that much more miserable, victimized even more so by the school jocks she always spent time with.
It’s all in the past, at least according to the man Eric grew into and who stands chatting with her in the grocery store. He’s just happy to run into a girl he never could forget, captain of the cheer squad who definitely has not left her beauty in the past.
She has changed though, changed in many ways, Eric says. While Melinda isn’t entirely sure what he means, as they walk along the aisles of the store, he points out the changes and sure enough, she has changed.
Or has she?
Some of Eric’s observations make her feel things, things she has never felt before, but again… has she had those feelings all along? Have the interests and desires Eric talks about her having always been there inside her? Was she really the school slut, once doing an entire classroom full of guys, including the teacher?
Melinda finds bumping into Eric to be a truly eye-opening experience, but before she leaves this grocery store she certainly aims to do more than just “bump” into him… and quite possibly anyone else who is interested.
One thing is certain, when Melinda returns home to her husband he’ll be able to say “My, How You’ve Changed.”
